95360 - M0.9.3 file protection disables use for standard users

Status: VERIFIED INVALID

(SeaMonkey :: Installer, defect)

Description

[Theo Jakobus]

After the upgrade from M0.9.2 under SYSTEM account Mozilla couldn't be started
from user accounts, I had to change the protection of the files:
SYS$COMMON:[MOZILLA.COMPONENTS]MOZILLA.XPT
SYS$COMMON:[MOZILLA.COMPONENTS]XPTI.DAT
SYS$COMMON:[MOZILLA.COMPONENTS]XPTITEMP.DAT
from W:RE to W:RWED now Mozilla can be used from user accounts.

Theo, what happens if you change the protection BACK to W:RE on those three
files now. Can non-priv's users stil use Mozilla or does it revert back to
failing again?

I'm really not sure what's going on here. I can't reproduce this problem.
Here's what I tried:

- removed Mozilla
- installed M0.9.2
- ran Mozilla from non-priv'd account
- upgraded to M0.9.3
- ran Mozilla from non-priv'd account

Each time the non-priv'd user was able to run Mozilla.

Note that I did NOT ever run Mozilla from a priv'd account during this test.

Theo, what do I need to do to reproduce this problem???

I changed the protection back to W:RE for:
SYS$COMMON:[MOZILLA.COMPONENTS]MOZILLA.XPT,XPTI.DAT,XPTITEMP.DAT
using SYSTEM account and I'm able to run Mozilla under the user account.

Colin you did already the test with reinstalling M0.9.2 and upgrading to M0.9.3
so I'm a bit confused.

I changed the Status to INVALID

Very odd indeed. If you see this problem again on a future release, or if
you are able to reproduce it on 0.9.3, please re-open this bug report.
